RESPONSIVEDESIGN 101
A website with responsive design changes its appearance and
layout to suit the screen size it is being viewed on.
The website content is coded
using standard HTML codes, and CSS is added to target different device widths with breakpoints.

RESPONSIVE OVER STATIC The set width of a website makes
it look the same on all devices,
resulting in horizontal scrolling; a big turn off when you’re viewing it
on mobile devices.
The fluid grids and media queries used to design responsive websites make the website elements scalable based on the device it is being viewed on.

Device friendly: All website elements optimize their
sizes according to the device they are being viewed on, automatically.
No plug-ins: A visitor need not install a separate
software or plugin to view the website.
Lesser Investment: Since one website serves the
purpose, there won’t be a need to invest in separate mobile websites.
